Biosensors Laboratory

The Biolab is dedicated to the development of Biosensors and Biointerfaces. Work in this laboratory stresses the highly interdisciplinary character of biosensing, which lies at the boundary between microbiology, electrochemistry, physics and electronics

Main activities

  • Electrochemical measurements (Potentiometric, Amperometric, Impedimetric characterization).
  • Surface functionalization (Bioincubation).
  • Evaluation of sensor for application in different areas
  • Development of microfluidic systems.
  • Spectrophotometric measurements (UV-Vis detection, ELISA).
  • Optical inspection.
